Waaaaah, he doesn't like carrots! Although he wasn't picky about food before, that was because there wasn't much to eat. It was good enough if there was anything to eat, let alone something to choose from.
Moreover, he only ate coarse grains every day and never had the chance to eat carrots. But now, he was with the Zhao family, who treated him very well and never skimped on his meals.
When the food improved, he discovered that he was actually a picky eater, and carrots were one of them, but he just didn't show it.
Xiao Hao forced himself to eat the carrot. After all, it was his sister who picked it, so he had to eat it no matter how bad it tasted!
After the family finished dinner, Lin Yuxin finally got down to business, which could be considered a family meeting:
“Mother, I will be going on a long trip in three days, and I don’t know when I will return. I have decided to take Xiao Hao with me! Mother, don’t worry, the Regent will be with me. With him protecting me, I will return safely.”
“Your older brother told me that I’ll help you pack your things tomorrow, but why are you bringing Xiao Hao along? He’s still so young. If something happens to him, you might not be able to protect him!”
What Zhao Hanyue wanted to say most was, "This is a prince. If you take him out like this and something happens, how will you compensate the emperor?"
“Mother, Xiaohao is bored at home, so it’s a good opportunity to take him out to see the world.”
Lin Yuxin explained casually.
This is the future emperor, not a hothouse flower. How can he understand the people's plight if he's kept locked up at home all the time? Only by letting him see the lives of ordinary people and know what they need most can he become a wise ruler!
[And since I've kept him, I have to be responsible for him. His future is his own to walk, but I still hope he can find a brighter future.]
Lin Yuxin looked at Xiao Hao with tenderness in her eyes. She had saved Xiao Hao because she wanted to find a backer for the Zhao family, but after getting to know him, Xiao Hao was like her younger brother, and she really did treat him as her younger brother.
If Xiaohao really does take that position in the future, I will make sure he does it more steadily and reliably.
Everyone present was stunned. They didn't know that their daughter (sister) had such a grand idea in mind. A wise ruler? That's not something that can be cultivated so easily. Even the Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor wouldn't dare to have such lofty ambitions.
But Lin Yuxin had such thoughts, thoughts that were beyond their reach.
The three brothers exchanged a glance, and a tacit understanding arose spontaneously.
Since the younger sister has this idea, and they are family, they will help her. The younger sister wants to help Xiao Hao, and they will try their best to help her.
Zhao Hanyue suppressed her shock. She knew her daughter was right; becoming a wise ruler was not a simple matter.
However, she still sighed and said:
"Xin Xin, it's up to you to decide. But if the child's parents are here, you can ask for their opinion. I just don't know what the child's parents think."
Zhao Hanyue subtly mentioned Xiaohao's parents, saying, "Although your intentions are good, you're taking the Emperor's child out for training. Aren't you going to talk to the parents about this?"
Aren't you afraid they'll come after you?
Lin Yuxin only then realized what was happening.
[Right! Her father doesn't know yet? It seems I still need to find some time to go to the palace and ask the Emperor. Although the Emperor doesn't know that his child is still alive, regardless of whether he agrees or not, she's determined to take this child in.]
"Hehe, Mother, how would I know where his parents are? We'll talk about it when we find them!"
Lin Yuxin gave a silly laugh and replied perfunctorily.
Zhao Hanyue knew her daughter had taken it to heart, so she didn't say anything more. However, listening to her daughter's inner thoughts, she was a little alarmed. This girl had no respect for the Emperor at all. She felt that it was only because the Emperor hadn't beheaded the Zhao family that he was being merciful!
Xiao Hao stared blankly at Lin Yuxin, because he heard what his sister was thinking. He felt a warm, tingling sensation in his heart. Was Mingjun what he meant?
Is his father that person? But why doesn't he want him?
Xiao Hao wasn't sad for long. After all, he had been alone since he was a child and had suffered a lot of cold words and harsh words, so he didn't care who his parents were.
Regardless of who his parents are, he only has his older sister now, and she wants him to grow up to be a wise ruler. He will work hard for that.
Looking at his sister's face, Xiao Hao felt a warmth in his heart. His sister was doing things that weren't her responsibility, so he had to work hard and not let her down.
Lin Yuxin was unaware of Xiao Hao's true feelings about protecting his own, which immediately made Xiao Hao feel guilty.
"Brother, the second young lady of the Grand Tutor's family is a good person. If you two like each other, you should settle down as soon as possible."
Lin Yuxin began to give her older brother some more instructions.
[After all, Ji Qingxue had already come of age, and if I remember correctly, her family should have already been looking for a good match for her. In the story, it was during this time that they were discussing marriage, but then her eldest brother was injured, and that's when she followed him without hesitation.]
[Since my brother is alright this time, her marriage should be discussed normally. If he doesn't step up his efforts, his wife might end up with someone else.]
"Big brother understands!"
Lin Chenglie's ears turned red as he awkwardly spoke.
Zhao Hanyue kept this in mind and was getting a little anxious. It seemed she couldn't wait until next month and had to make an appointment with Madam Ji as soon as possible.
"Second brother, be careful of Lin Qi when you go out to parties. He's a wicked man."
Lin Yuxin looked at her second brother and gave him a reminder.
[The second brother's fatal flaw hasn't surfaced yet, but just in case, it's best to be cautious. In the story, the second brother is invited out to a gathering with friends, but they meet in a secluded place where they encounter robbers. In the critical moment, Lin Qi uses the second brother as a scapegoat.]
[I hope Second Brother will be more careful this time! Otherwise, his sister won't be able to get back to save him!]
